A dreary day in the Glasgow suburbs sees 26024 taking rest outside the shed at Eastfield TMD. Always loved the sound of these little locos, with their Sulzer 6LDA28-A power units. #Class26 #EastfieldTMD #BRCW #BritishRail #BRBlue #Trainspotting

A wonderful example of a 1965 vintage type 3 stabled outside the shed at Motherwell. Unfortunately 37298 was never selected for refurbishment, but soldiered on until 2000, finally being cut up at Booths in Rotherham in 2006.

A celebration of the mighty corporate blue of British Rail on these modernisation era favourites. Also as a huge nod to all those who have posted their wonderful shots from the ELR this weekend.

Morning all. Into a new week, I hope it’s good for you all.
Still sporting its British Rail corporate blue, 37154 sits inside Eastfield TMD receiving a bit of TLC. The loco survived until 1999, and met its end in 2000 in Wigan.
